Equivalent services on other platforms

Amazon EFSAWS

Serverless elastic NFSv4 file system for Linux workloads with automatic scaling, Standard and One Zone storage classes, and lifecycle management to Infrequent Access

Amazon FSxAWS

Fully managed shared file systems with four flavours — FSx for Windows File Server (SMB + Active Directory), FSx for Lustre (HPC and ML), FSx for NetApp ONTAP (NAS and SAN protocols), and FSx for OpenZFS (native POSIX) — each with multi-AZ, encryption, and native integrations across EC2, EKS, and on-prem

Amazon S3 FilesAWS

File-system interface over existing S3 buckets — supports NFS v4.1+ create / read / update / delete operations so multiple compute resources can share S3 data without copying it to a separate filesystem, eliminating the data-silo problem ML-training and agentic-AI pipelines hit when their compute needs file semantics but their corpus lives in object storage

Azure FilesAzure

Fully managed file shares accessible over SMB and NFS protocols with transparent tiering across Premium, Hot, Cool, and Archive, Active Directory auth, and Azure File Sync

Azure NetApp FilesAzure

Enterprise-grade managed NetApp ONTAP file storage service with NFSv3, NFSv4.1, SMB, and dual-protocol support, sub-millisecond latency, up to 4.5 GiB/s throughput per volume, snapshots, SnapMirror cross-region replication, and cross-zone availability

Red Hat OpenShift Data FoundationOpenShift

Software-defined storage layer (Ceph plus NooBaa) for OpenShift providing block, file, and S3-compatible object storage across hybrid clusters with multicloud gateway

OpenStack ManilaOpenStack

Shared file system service providing NFS, CIFS, CephFS, and GlusterFS shares to tenants with snapshot, replication, and access-rule management — equivalent to EFS / Azure Files / Filestore in the cross-provider managed-NAS mapping
